Firefox is no longer capable of running on a mac that is also capable of running 32-bit applications. Chrome is also making the same jump pretty soon. The browser companies have made a determination that if you want to have a computer that retains compatibility with 32-bit mac software, you cannot look at web pages. nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2023/

@mcc Can Firefox be built from source for it? Seems like it should be possible. Maybe homebrew or whatever can even do it.

@dalias @mcc no, only the official build is Firefox. Unless you're using Gentoo.

@ekg @dalias I don't understand why IceWeasel was abandoned. The weasel was so cute.

@ekg @mcc Alpine builds Firefox. Nobody cares about their silly policy (which doesn't even say you can't build from source).
